Upcoming Film Events Sponsored by Reel Stories

Reel Stories is a filmmaking program for young women and non-binary youth. The first of the following two events is for ALL students. The second is specifically for young women and non-binary folkks.

On November 9 from 5PM to 8PM, Reel Stories is screening Amy Adrion's award winning documentary Half the Picture at Luka's Taproom & Bar in Oakland! The documentary interviews female directors in Hollywood and highlights the gender discrimination they face in the industry. Following the film, one of our student board members will facilitate a special Q&A with featured director Jennifer Phang!

We have 25 comp'd tickets for youth available and want to invite any interested students to use code YOUTH when selecting the youth admission ticket at checkout to redeem their free tickets.
